Amendment Description	Explanatory NoteArcher-Daniels-Midland Company (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amendment”) to its Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, which was originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 30, 2024 (the “Form 10‑Q”). In filing this Amendment, the Company is restating its previously issued unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and 2023 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (collectively, the “Affected Periods”) for the correction of certain segment-specific historical financial information as further described below.In addition, the Company filed amendments to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, originally filed with the SEC on March 12, 2024 and April 30, 2024, respectively (such reports, together with this Amendment, the “Amended Reports”). All material restatement information will be included in the Amended Reports, and the Company does not intend to separately amend other filings that were previously filed with the SEC.Accordingly, investors and other readers should rely only on the financial information and other disclosures regarding the periods described above in this Amendment and in any other future filings with the SEC (as applicable) and should not rely on any previously issued or filed reports, press releases, corporate presentations or similar communications relating to the Affected Periods.Background of CorrectionFollowing ongoing dialogue with the staff of the SEC, the Company concluded that it would amend the 2023 Form 10-K and Form 10-Qs for the first and second quarters of 2024 (collectively, the “Q1 and Q2 2024 Form 10-Qs”) to restate the segment information disclosure included in those filings. These restatements do not impact ADM’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows or Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity as of and for the periods presented in the Amended Reports.As previously disclosed in Note 13. Segment Information, to the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-Q, the Company identified and corrected certain intersegment sales amounts that either (i) were not in accordance with prior disclosures about presenting such sales at amounts approximating market or (ii) included intrasegment sales (resulting from sales within the segment) and should have included exclusively intersegment sales (resulting from sales from one segment to another). In connection with the error corrections, the Company identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting related to its accounting practices and procedures for intersegment sales. The Company put in place a plan to remediate this material weakness, as disclosed in the 2023 Form 10-K and Q1 and Q2 2024 Form 10-Qs.In the course of testing new controls implemented as part of the Company’s material weakness remediation plan in the third quarter of 2024, the Company identified additional misclassified intersegment transactions. These newly identified errors concern additional intersegment sales for each of its Ag Services and Oilseeds, Carbohydrate Solutions and Nutrition segments that included certain intrasegment sales and should have included exclusively intersegment sales. The Company also identified some intersegment transactions between Ag Services and Oilseeds and Carbohydrate Solutions that were not accounted for consistently in accordance with revenue recognition and segment reporting standards and should not have been reported as intersegment sales. The Company also is correcting certain segment disclosure presentation errors in the Amended Reports.This Amendment reflects corrections for the newly identified errors related to intersegment sales (described below), the previously-corrected errors related to intersegment sales and segment operating profit, and other segment disclosure corrections (See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Amendment for further information).Restatement of Consolidated Financial StatementsThis Amendment includes unaudited restated Consolidated Financial Statements for the Affected Periods. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Amendment for the restated unaudited segment information as of June 30, 2024 and 2023 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.Items Amended in This FilingThis Amendment amends and restates the following items of the Form 10-Q:•Part I - Item 1.
